Acer made a statement saying that despite recent rumors in the press regarding the launch of Chrome OS based netbooks at Computex, Acer has no short-term plans for such a product. The statement also said:

Acer believes that Google Chrome OS is without doubt an exciting product announcement and deserves it's full attention as well as an in-depth study of its potential from a consumers perspective.

Acer is naturally interested in any product or service that enhances the overall experience of its products and will of course be following the development and progress of Google Chrome and the evolution of Google?s overall product strategy very closely.
